Photooxidation of Selected Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Aqueous Organic Media in The Presence of Ti(IV)Oxide

Abstract

We have studied the photooxidation of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the presence of Ti(IV)oxide in a mixed solvent system consisting of N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) and water. Reaction rates for the photooxidation of acenaphthylene and pyrene were investigated by monitoring the disappearance of the PAH substrate from the reaction mixture as a function of time. For both compounds plots of In C_o/C_t, as a function of time yielded straight lines, indicating first order kinetics with respect to the substrate. With an initial acenaphthylene concentration of 1.0 gL^?1 the first order reaction rate constant was 0.19 hr^?1 and the half life was 3.7 hr. With an initial pyrene concentration of 0.2 gL^?1 the first order reaction rate constant was 0.0285 hr^?1 and the half life was 24 hr. The photoproducts were characterized by high performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection (HPLC/DAD) and by liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI/LC-MS). Although a number of simple oxidation products were identified the bulk of the photoproducts consisted of the parent PAH substituted with one or more solvent (NMP) molecules. The product mixtures from the photooxidation of the non-mutagens acenaphthylene and pyrene were found to be also non-mutagenic in our Salmonella typhimurium forward mutation assay.     

Polarized hyperon production with a high energy polarized proton beam

It is suggested that the high energy polarized proton beam now available at the Argonne National Laboratory Zero Gradient Synchrotron may provide a copious source of polarized hyperons, particularly lambdas. The potential value of this beam for investigating production processes is emphasized.
